Applying film to your phone is easy. No need to hire a technician. Plus, the price is good.
RHINOSHIELD believes that many people think that installing a phone film by yourself is difficult and that only a technician can do it. But did you know that you can do it yourself at home smoothly like a professional? You don't have to waste time having a technician install it. Whether it's a clear phone film, a matte film, a glass film, etc., the method of installing a mobile phone film by yourself is not complicated. It also has a good effect on your phone, both preventing scratches, fingerprints, and impacts from daily use, as well as helping to extend the life of your phone.
Before you apply phone film yourself, let's take a look at the different types of phone film available.
There are many types of phone film on the market for you to choose from according to your preferences and purposes. For those who want to install their own phone film, you must first ask yourself what kind of use you want to use it for. Which type of film is suitable for your use? Today, RHINOSHIELD will introduce you to each type of film.
Clear protective film
The first type of film that people who want to install their own phone film must know is a clear screen protector made of plastic. Its outstanding feature is its thinness, helping to maintain the brightness and vivid colors of the screen. It is also easy to find and cheap. Clear screen protectors are divided into 2 types:
1. PET film: Made of PET plastic that is scratch-resistant but not shatter-resistant. It is cheap and easy to find, but has the disadvantage of fingerprints easily and needs to be cleaned regularly.
2. TPU film: It is tough and flexible, provides better scratch protection and reduces fingerprints than PET film, but is not suitable for impact protection.
Clear screen protectors are suitable for people with a limited budget who want to maintain the color and clarity of the screen. They are also easy to apply and change frequently.
Matte screen protector
Matte screen protectors are also made of plastic, but they have a paper-like texture that reduces glare, allowing you to see the screen clearly even in bright light. They also reduce fingerprints. However, matte screen protectors can also reduce the color and clarity of the screen.
Screen protector helps maintain privacy
For those who are going to install a protective film on their phone and like privacy and don't want anyone to peek at what they are looking at, we recommend a privacy screen protector, also known as an "anti-peeping film." This film will help protect privacy. You will be able to see the screen clearly only when looking straight at the front. If you look at it from the side, it will be black. It helps prevent peeks from people around you very well.
Hydrogel screen protector
For those who are into shockproof films but don’t like thick films, hydrogel screen protectors are the answer. Because it has a thin and highly flexible film, it can prevent scratches and absorb impact well, adheres perfectly to the screen, and maintains good image clarity.
Glass film
Those who install phone film themselves will not know this type of film, which is a glass film. It is thicker and more durable than general plastic film. It can prevent the screen from cracking from falling or hitting well. There are both clear and matte types. And you can also choose whether to install it on the full screen or not. It is suitable for people who often drop their mobile phones because the glass film will help reduce the impact and prevent the screen from cracking the best.
What are the benefits of installing a protective film on your phone? Why shouldn't you neglect it?
Although the current mobile phone screens are strong and scratch-resistant, it does not mean that they are 100% protected. If our phone screen is scratched or hit by an object that is harder than the glass on the phone screen, it can also damage the phone. Therefore, installing a phone film is necessary. And if you install the phone film yourself, it will help you save on the cost of having a technician install it. In addition, the phone film has more benefits than preventing scratches, which are:
Reduce blue light, making your eyes comfortable while using the screen.
Reduce glare
Reduce fingerprints
Prevents impact when dropped
Who wants to install a phone film at home? What equipment do you need? Let's see!
Applying film to your phone at home is easy if you have all the necessary equipment. Although the film kit we bought already comes with some basic equipment, if you want to apply it smoothly like a professional, you may need to prepare additional equipment as follows:
-
Table or flat surface: You should choose a flat, clean area with enough light so that you can place your phone and other devices conveniently and clearly see them while installing.
Microfiber cloth: Has the ability to trap dust and oil stains very well without causing scratches. Suitable for cleaning the screen to be free from stains and dust.
-
Clear tape: Can be used to remove small dust particles left on the screen. It can also be used to pull off old films and helps to remove air bubbles that occur during installation, making the film smoother.
Share your own techniques for installing phone film to make it smooth and beautiful like a professional.
Anyone who has read this far should be more than halfway ready to install your own phone film. RHINOSHIELD would like to share some little techniques for beginners who want to install their own phone film like a professional. Let’s see what the steps are!
Step 1 Check the accessories in the film kit: Before you start to install the phone film yourself, you should check what accessories are included in the tempered glass film kit, such as screen cleaning cloth, dust removal sheet, and installation manual. Read the basic installation instructions to make sure you understand all the steps.
Step 2: Apply the film to the screen before installation: Gently apply the film to the screen without removing the plastic sheet to determine the exact position and see if the film fits the screen. This will prevent mistakes and damage the film.
Step 3: Peel off the old film and clean the screen: Use transparent tape to stick and pull off the old film. Then use a microfiber cloth or the cloth that comes with the film kit to clean the screen from oil and dust.
Step 4 Peel off the plastic sheet from the film: Turn the film upside down so that the adhesive side is down, and slowly peel off the plastic sheet to prevent dust in the air from sticking to the adhesive side of the film.
Step 5: Apply the film to the phone screen: Using the reference points on the screen, such as the speaker, front camera, or buttons, place the film in the correct position and slowly press the entire film down. Press it to fit the screen without any air bubbles.
Step 6 Wipe the film and check for air bubbles: After installing the film, wipe the film clean again, check every corner for air bubbles. If there are air bubbles, use transparent tape to pull the film up and re-place it, and smooth it out again. Then your self-adhesive phone film installation will be as perfect as a professional.
